ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR by Oasis (well .. Noel Gallagher)
=================== from "Definitely Maybe"
Its taken me ages to figure out that he goes to Ab at the
bridge type bit (pre-chorus). He throws in these unexpected
chords fairly often it seems (see the Supersonic transcription at
OLGA which is fine except it goes to D not E on the chorus as is
written).
Most (if not all) of the chords are barred, the B at the
7th and theres a lot of taking off of the barre (fore) finger so it
adds an E and an A. Other than that just turn up the overdrive.
intro: B (mess around) then B A->E B
I live my life in the city - there's no easy way out
The days moving just too fast for me,
Need some time in the sunshhyynnnnne - gotta slow it right down
The days moving just too fast for me.
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say its just a waste of time
When they said I should just feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel ?
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star.
Then: repeat the whole of above until :
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star.
Are you down with who I am
Look at you'll now you're all in my hands - tonight.
solo: over verse chords (B A E)
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star
To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star.
Then at the end there is a bit of a free-for-all - it goes first to an
A (slide up from G) then I *think* it is E (fingered at 1st fret)
and an E shape slid up two frets (so a sort of F#) - I may be wrong
on this bit though - so any takers ?
